finding(app-shell,react): the drill "Open in list" / `target: 'navigate'` path sends filter placeholders UNRESOLVED, so one drill has two scopes depending on its target

[os-steve]

Found while fixing objectui#8944 (PR #9016). Filed rather than folded in: that card is about how the two filter SOURCES compose, this is about what the composed value still carries. Orthogonal, and this one is not chart-specific.

The defect

Every widget that drills through DrillNavigationContext.openRecordList hands it the widget's own filter composed with the click context — and that value is the raw authored filter, placeholders included. Both in-repo consumers of the handler (useOpenRecordList in app-shell, and OpenInListButton in plugin-dashboard) pass it straight to serializeDrillFilterParams, which writes it into filter[...] URL params verbatim. Nothing resolves {current_quarter_start} or {current_user_id} on the way.

Why it survived: the drawer path does NOT have the bug

The in-place drawer renders object-data-table, whose own fetch calls resolveFilterPlaceholders(schema.filter, filterScope). So a macro authored on the widget is resolved on the drawer path and is not on the navigate path.

⇒ One drill, two different scopes, decided only by drillDown.target. And the same widget's own chart bars are scoped by the resolved value — ObjectChart resolves its query legs through resolveFilterPlaceholders(schema.filter, filterScope) while composing the drill from schema.filter raw — so the drilled list disagrees with the chart the user clicked.

The failure is silent and lands on a literal

A widget filter of { close_date: { $gte: '{current_quarter_start}' } } serializes to filter[close_date][gte]={current_quarter_start}. The bare data surface parses that back as an ordinary string comparand, so the list matches nothing (or the driver refuses the comparand). Nothing errors at the seam that produced it.

Note this direction is NARROW, unlike objectui#8944's widening — but it is the same class: the widget's declared scope silently not being the scope the drilled list runs under.

Not chart-specific

openRecordList is the shared drill escape hatch: the table / pivot / metric widgets reach it through DrillDownDrawer and OpenInListButton too. Any of them carrying a placeholder in filter has the same split.

The decision this needs

Where resolution belongs is the actual question, and it should be answered once rather than per widget:

• A — at each widget's drill seam: compose from the already-resolved filter the widget queries with. Local, but it is N seams and the next hand-rolled drill panel will forget it again.
• B — inside the openRecordList contract: resolve once where the value crosses into the host, covering every caller including future ones. Needs the filter-token scope to be reachable there.

B looks right, but the scope plumbing is a real design question, so this is not a mechanical fix.

Acceptance

• A widget whose filter carries {current_user_id} or a relative-date macro, drilled with target: 'navigate', produces a URL carrying the RESOLVED value.
• The drawer path keeps resolving exactly once — no double resolution.
• Pinned for at least one non-chart caller as well, since the contract is shared and a chart-only pin would let the next widget regress silently.

Triage: half-state healed — pm:queue added. domain:ui and priority:p2 were already correct and are unchanged.

The half-state, and why this is a heal rather than a first grading

This card carried domain:ui + priority:p2 and no pm-state, with zero comments — so it was labelled without an audit comment and has been sitting in the ③ 析取 (domain:* without a pm-state) since. ⇒ 「状态变更不过夜:标签无评论…都是半状态」. Healing the pair now and leaving the audit trail the original write owed.

✅ The existing labels are right, checked rather than inherited:

• domain:ui — both consumers are release libraries (useOpenRecordList in app-shell, OpenInListButton in plugin-dashboard), and so is the fix site. ⛔ Not domain:spec (no contract moves) and ⛔ not domain:devx.
• priority:p2 — a user-visible wrong answer, ⛔ not a crash: drilling through 「Open in list」 lands on a list filtered by a literal {current_quarter_start} / {current_user_id}, so the destination shows the wrong rows. ⛔ Not p1 — the drawer path works, so the capability is not down and there is a working route to the same data. ⛔ Not p3 — it is silent and it disagrees with the chart the user just clicked.

⭐ What makes this card strong, recorded so the round does not re-derive it

The card carries its own discriminator: the drawer path does not have the bug, because object-data-table's own fetch calls resolveFilterPlaceholders(schema.filter, filterScope). ⇒ one drill, two scopes, decided only by drillDown.target.

⚠️ And the third leg is the one that settles intent: the widget's own chart bars are scoped by the resolved value (ObjectChart resolves its query legs through the same helper). ⇒ on the navigate path the destination disagrees with the chart it came from — so the authored placeholder is unambiguously meant to be resolved, and ⛔ 「maybe the raw value is intended」 is measured shut.

⛔ Fences

• ⛔ Do not fix it in serializeDrillFilterParams. It writes what it is handed, faithfully; the unresolved value arrives already composed. Resolving inside the serializer would put a scope-dependent read inside a pure URL encoder, and the two in-repo callers would still be the ones holding the scope.
• ⚠️ Resolve where the scope is, as the drawer path does — and the PR states which of the two call sites owns it, since both consumers pass the raw value straight through. ⛔ Fixing one and not the other leaves the same defect on the other widget family.
• ⛔ Do not widen to objectui#8944 (PR fix(plugin-charts,core): conjoin the chart drill filter instead of spreading it #9016). The filer separated them correctly: that card is how the two filter sources compose; this is what the composed value still carries. Orthogonal.

Size/model suggestion: S — one resolution call at the scope-holding site, plus a test on each of the two consumers and one asserting the drawer/navigate parity the card measured.
